Consistent circle: Difference between revisions
→Examples: correction (avoid implying 80edo *is* a circle of 12/11's, rather that it *has* a circle of 12/11's; i will clarify this elsewhere/earlier in the article |
clarify "is" vs "has" a circle of a/b's |

This is a much more common type of circle that is still generally reliable for most purposes, hence useful to distinguish. | This is a much more common type of circle that is still generally reliable for most purposes, hence useful to distinguish. | ||

An important distinction must be made (when ''N'' is not prime) in the case where ''a''/''b'' does not generate all notes of ''N''-edo but only a subset of the notes; in such a case, we say that ''N''-edo '''''has''''' a circle of ''a''/''b'''s; it is ''incorrect'' to say that ''N''-edo '''is''' a circle of ''a''/''b'''s because that would imply all notes are reached by repeatedly stacking ''a''/''b''. | |||
